Aleem Dar—Asia’s No 1 umpire to supervise most matches


NOTTINGHAM: Pakistan’s outstanding umpire Aleem Dar has now achieved another landmark for him and his country as he became the Asia’s No 1 umpire to supervise most matches.

Aleem Dar has broken the record of Indian umpire Venkat Raghav who served in 73 matches in his career.
Talking to media, Aleem Dar said that he was able to achieve this record because of the support from his family and friends.
“Umpiring is my passion and I would continue to do it,” he said.
Aleem Dar has now also become the world’s no sixth umpire to supervise most matches.
